Fisheries will be open this week both for commercial and recreational  fisherman in the fraser river .

I do so hope you're lying/incorrect.  The last thing we need is more bottom bouncing.

There is a commercial opening announced yesterday: http://www.psc.org/NewsRel/2011/Announcement10.pdf

They had meetings 2 days in a row (Monday and Tuesday) - that could signal a rec opening.
We'll hear more after 4:00pm today.

I participate in these meetings. A majority of samples are dominated by Harrisson fish (40% - 55% of each sample). These fish are historically later running, but have arrived early and are stronger than forecasted this year. This is the only anomalous trend this year, as all other stocks are tracking quite low and more or less to forecast. The 2 meetings in a row are focused around area US area 4b, 5, 6c, 7, 7a openings and Area D gillnet fisheries remaining open - the last thing on the agenda is recreational openings.
